tag 587102 patch thanks Please do document the issue with autotools-dev. I'm starting to use your package for packages where I already use autotools-dev addon, and if I didn't happen to look at dh-autoreconf bug list, this bug would cause me to unnecesarily waste time. OTOH If the manpage contained this information, it would be a flawless experience, as I did read the manpage :-)
It seems more people will be in the same situation, so it's worthwile to document this. --- dh-autoreconf-2/dh-autoreconf.pod 2010-07-23 12:25:07.000000000 +0100 +++ dh-autoreconf.pod 2011-03-16 09:19:21.000000000 +0000 @@ -26,6 +26,13 @@ C<DEB_DH_AUTORECONF_CLEAN_ARGS> to pass arguments to dh_autoreconf_clean.
